On Saturday, Redick unveiled a spur-of-the-moment celebration when he swished a trey early in the fourth quarter of the Orlando Magic’s win over the Charlotte Bobcats. As Redick started to run back down the court, he made fists with both hands and drew his fists back toward his waist.

Redick was asked about the celebration after the Magic’s shootaround today, and he mentioned how former teammates Chris Duhon and Quentin Richardson last season created a windmill/air-guitar celebration that ended with them sticking three fingers in the air.

“It’s a combination,” Redick explained when asked about his new celebration. “It’s kind of evolved, and it’s going to continue to evolve. I’ve already decided I’m going to add one element to it that has been unused thus far. But last year when Chris and Quentin would do their air guitar after a made 3, I would do like a thrusting motion. But then when I made a shot, I would just stick the three [fingers] up.

“So now, I’m combining the three [fingers] with the thrusting motion. And, after the game Saturday night, I’m also going to add in the Ric Flair ‘wooo!’ It’s a three-part combo of just jubilation.”

Redick was laughing when he finished his last statement.

I’m going on a real limb here, but I think he’s goofing off.

Several seasons ago, a rumor got out that Redick was making a rap album, and when asked about it, Redick continually would play along.

Most media outlets went with it as fact — except for the Orlando Sentinel, thank you very much — and Redick got a kick out of all the fuss.

I asked him if he was pulling another of his pranks today.

“No, I’m being serious,” he said, a smile on his face. “I’m going to add the Ric Flair.”

As expected, Arron Afflalo will play for the Orlando Magic when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at Amway Center, while dynamic point guard Ricky Rubio and All-Star power forward Kevin Love will play for the Timberwolves.

The Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t pushovers anymore. Just ask the Orlando Magic, who lost to them in Minneapolis in early November. The Magic arguably are a better team now. But how much better? Tonight should provide a clue.
